[quote=Anonymous]I am a non-American black woman married to a white man. I sometimes feel like I am accepted/included more because I am married to a white man. At the same time, and I know this will sound strange as I can scarcely articulate it myself, I feel like I am sometimes treated like some kind of pet. I am a 47 year old woman yet I get the "oh you are so cute/pretty/beautiful" comments in that overly nice tone that makes me really uncomfortable. I really don't know how to react to them because they come across as somewhat condescending yet trying to be nice so I am torn between appreciating that someone is, rather cack handedly, trying to be nice yet being annoyed at the condescending tone. I know they would never say the same thing in the same tone to another white lady. Hard to explain but I really cannot relate to women who relate to me this way.[/quote]
